I fully agree with that....but what I fail to understand is why cannot these guys and gals at least attempt to do better be it their attitudes, skills etc. I am 43 years old, but I am always evolving..I read quite a lot, good magazines and books, try my best to learn better things, improve my knowle...dge, my mannerisms etc. After all in a country where millions are jobless, can't these banking blokes realise their good luck working in good banks...or have they taken everything for granted. At least learn to be polite...if you cannot, at least take voluntary retirement and make way for a person with a better attitude!!!Read More
